Donald Trump spent Thursday in a New York courtroom testifying in a civil fraud lawsuit, and although it’s not clear how it went from a legal standpoint, the former president at least got to rehearse a campaign talking point.

That’s according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who said in a Twitter post that she spoke with Trump after his second New York court appearance in as many weeks.

Donald Trump Jr. is the latest right-wing political figure to heap praise upon the suspect who was arrested Thursday in connection with the leak of highly sensitive classified documents.

Just after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said Jack Douglas Teixeira was being treated as a “traitor and criminal” and credited him for “exposing the truth," Trump's son said on his "Triggered" podcast that he has changed his thinking on issues related to leaking government documents. Specifically, he compared Teixeira to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, and said that, "Maybe it's just the US government is a bad actor."

A legal expert is sounding the alarm that former President Donald Trump's racially-charged attacks and threats against Black prosecutors investigating him could escalate safety threats for Black prosecutors all over the country, reported ABC 7.

"Former President Donald Trump continues to criticize Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg after pleading not guilty to 34 felony counts last Tuesday," reported Crystal Cranmore. "Trump's attacks don't stop there, from social media posts threatening death and destruction to his rallies. He's taken shots at a Georgia prosecutor investigating possible criminal behavior by Trump in the 2020 presidential election surrounding his efforts to overturn the results. The former president has also condemned New York Attorney General Letitia James for looking into his business dealings, calling each of these three Black prosecutors racist."

Fresh off reports that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted luxury travel and accommodations from billionaire GOP megadonor Harlan Crow without any disclosure, a new report reveals Thomas also sold Crow his family home without disclosing it — which experts say is a much more clear-cut violation of federal ethics laws.

ProPublica reporter Josh Kaplan, who broke the story, delved into more detail on CNN's "The Lead" Thursday.

The California Capitol building was reopened today after being closed for more than an hour due to a "credible threat" by someone being sought in connection with other local shootings.

The individual who threatened to shoot up the state Capitol is believed to have fired shots at the Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical building and outside another local business on Wednesday, according to KCRA and other local news sources. Some lawmakers were forced to evacuate the building, but they were let in after a little more than an hour, Fox 5 reports.

A substitute teacher in Las Vegas has been fired after an investigation into a racial incident that happened in the classroom, reported NewsNation on Thursday.

"Parents and guardians received a letter Tuesday from Silvestri Junior High School principal Yvette Tippetts notifying them of the incident," reported Joshua Peguero. "Students and parents tell NewsNation affiliate KLAS it involved a classroom incident where the substitute teacher wrote a racial slur used to reference Black people on the whiteboard ... KLAS also received videos capturing the teacher writing the racial slur as students in the classroom are yelling that’s 'crazy' and 'no.'"

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is questioning the treatment of the suspect who was arrested Thursday in connection with the leak of highly sensitive classified documents.

On Wednesday, April 12, Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) announced that he had launched a presidential exploratory committee. Scott's admirers welcomed the announcement; they see him as a conservative Republican with a positive vision and a less divisive, less combative figure than former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (who appears to be gearing up for a presidential run).

But Never Trump conservative Amanda Carpenter has a very different view of the South Carolina Republican. In a biting article published by The Bulwark on April 13, Carpenter argues that Scott is much more MAGA than his cheerleaders would have us believe.

A judge on Wednesday said that he would appoint a special master tasked with determining whether Fox News withheld crucial evidence in the defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems.

Donald Trump's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, may run into some problems with his work on the hush money case brought by the Manhattan District Attorney, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Stormy Daniels's lawyer, Clark Brewster, has filed a complaint to a New York attorney grievance committee, revealing communications between the adult film star and Tacopina in Feb. 2018. She had approached him about being her attorney in matters related to Donald Trump.

Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert is wasting taxpayers’ money by “showboating” about the number of committee hearings the House GOP is holding, according to experts who spoke to Newsweek.
